The first worker would complete the work in 8 hours, the other in 6 hours. After two hours of joint work, the worker left the first worker to a doctor, and the others completed the work themselves. How many hours worked did the other worker himself?

Final Answer:

t =  2.5 h

2·(1/8 + 1/6) + t/6 = 1

4t = 10


t = 10/4 = 2.5
